Yes, it has been many many months since I've posted to this blog
Of course I've been busy,
not just with business, and the new Beladora.com which we launched a few months ago,
but with family life
Which is a really good thing

But so much has happened out there in the blogosphere
which I have been barely keeping up withPseu has launched an amazing new blogLisa has become engaged and is getting married soon
and both of these brilliant and hard working bloggers
kept up with their busy lives,
and
they've kept up with their regular posting
and
even guest posted for Already Prettyhere and here
Their perseverance and work ethic inspires me

I've actually been deleting old random posts
It is long process and I still have more than 1600 posts to edit
One of these days I will get to finishing this project

I've seen a lot of vintage estate jewelry over the years....and I mean A LOT
Honestly, I don't really get exited about it unless it is really special in terms of its uniqueness, design and provenance
Recently we purchased a group of items by the great designer for Cartier, Aldo Cipullo

Yes, that Aldo Cipullo, the man that created the Love bracelet and the Nail bracelet for Cartier
and yes, I am excited about them
You can read all about the amazing Aldo here on our Beladora blog
And here are a couple of his pieces

While heavy on the carats, (100+ worth $8 million) her jewels were elegant, age appropriate,and complemented her entire look

don't you agree?

But what was Jessica Alba doing wearing the 5.8 million dollar diamond necklace by Harry Winston?

While this necklace was amazing, I felt that it was a bit over the top for such a young and fresh faced beauty.
After wearing such an important piece to the Golden Globes...whatever is she going to wear to the Oscar's?
